In past blog posts, we’ve discussed the value of technology in the math classroom. Most notably, technology supports multiple means of representation and expression, it encourages group collaboration, and it provides students with rapid sharing and teacher feedback.

Despite these benefits, I’m sure we can all think of instances where more traditional forms of education still come in handy. For example, there may be some problems that students prefer to solve on a scratch piece of paper. Or, maybe as a teacher, you still find the whiteboard to be the easiest way to present a lesson to the entire class.

We want to help you and your students merge these two forms of learning together so that you can experience the benefits of technology no matter what form the math comes in. That’s why we created EquatIO Mobile.

The Edtech50 is a celebration of the people, products and projects shaping the education and technology sector across the UK. Our CTO, Martin McKay has been honoured as one of the 50 providers to be featured in the list.

The list was launched today by Edtech UK and Jisc at a House of Lords reception.

Have you checked out EquatIO mathspace lately? What started out as a digital whiteboard that could be passed back and forth between teachers and students has become a full-fledged assignment-giving, feedback-providing, formative assessment tool.

Believe it or not, the last of the “Big Four” winter conferences has come to an end. After FETC, BETT, and ATIA, you’d think we’d be out of acronyms and would have learned all there is to know about edtech and assistive technology. But, it’s not true! TCEA, the Texas Computer Education Association Conference and Exposition, was an incredible conference that gave us even more insight into the latest edtech trends and best practices.

Though it’s challenging to come up with one common theme that spanned across all sessions and panel discussions, there was one takeaway that stuck with us: not all edtech is created equal.

We’re just getting back from a jam-packed ATIA 2018 conference in Orlando, FL where making PDFs accessible and collaborative seemed to be on everyone’s mind.

Thankfully that’s something Texthelp knows a thing or two about. So for those of you that are interested in learning more about our PDF tools or want to start using them in your classroom today, this post is for you!

Exam season can be a daunting time for teachers and students alike, especially if some learners need that little extra bit of help to reach their full potential and ace those tests. Between rising numbers of students requiring a human reader to assist them during test-time, and GCSE resits on the up, schools are understandably under pressure to deliver results - success both academic and financial.
